Bookmarkable URLThis clock, with its winged infants representing Astronomy and Geometry, is related to another with a similar design (but with figures representing ‘the Arts’) which was deposited with Robert Robin by Marie-Antoinette after the outbreak of the French Revolution. Robin (1742-99) also made the movement of the Wallace Collection’s clock. A particularly attractive feature of this clock is the enamelled band painted with four grisaille panels of the Seasons and four profile heads set against panels of simulated lapis lazuli.
